The Russians of PBR Book Club

New PBR Book Club drinking game: shotgun a PBR every time one of our books introduces a new Russian character! So far we've read 22 books, and holy Russians, Batman, we have disproportionate representation. We must really like Russians. Or at least Russian jokes.

The Goldfinch:

Boris

Mr. Pavlikovsky

The Worst Hard Time:

Catherine the Great

The Volga Germans

Underworld:

"The Russians"

City of Thieves:

Lev

Kolya

Everyone else

Absurdistan:

Misha

Alyosha Bob

Jerry Shteynfarb

Everyone else

Help me out, PBR Book Club -- who am I missing?

(Other books we've read: House of Leaves, Crapalachia, Rontel, Tenth of December, Faulkner February, Lost At Sea, Under the Skin, Telegraph Avenue, The Sugar Frosted Nutsack, 2666, Cataclysm Baby, A Very Minor Prophet, No One Belongs Here More Than You, 1Q84, Ready Player One, Real World, Cloud Atlas)
